Compassionate Legal Assistance

In a recent legal situation I went through which was extremely traumatic to me, I was so fortunate to be referred to Jennifer Watkins. Jennifer is a true professional, clearly knows the legal system and has lots of experience in a variety of legal situations. She was able to help me successfully navi...gate what was an overwhelming and stressful legal situation. I also felt at the same time that she was extremely compassionate, caring and understanding. She cared about me as a person, asked how I was coping, what supports I had in place. I would completely recommend her to anyone, with confidence that she would help guide them in their legal situation.

2nd DUI

Hi everyone! So I had Jennifer Watkins represent me while I was facing my second DUI! She was absolutely amazing!! She was able to get me the lowest penalties possible and on top of all else, She helped postpone my sentence date twice. Just so I could make it to my brother's wedding which was the mos...t important thing in my life! Since the very first day I called her she was nothing but helpful, sincere and truly cares about people and understands that mistakes happen! It was the first time ever I felt like someone actually cared about what happens to me and isn't there just for the paycheck! She is more than reasonable on her price for your second DUI when everyone else was a minimum of 5000! Long story short I wouldn't be able to write this right now if it wasn't for her and keeping me out of jail! I highly recommend her! Not only do you get a knowledgeable hard-working woman but she is also a friend you can count on! Good luck and with her your in good hands! Sincerely Matthew

Awesome lawyer that is highly recommend

I found and decided on Jennifer after thoroughly looking at other attorneys for my case. I can honestly and gratefully say it was the best decision I could have made. Jennifer was totally helpful and knowledgeable from the first consultation over the phone to our meetings in person, so much so that e...ven before my sentencing I recommended her to a close friend in a similar situation. Although I took responsibility and admitted guilt from the very beginning with my first contact with the Police, and possibly made it more difficult for Jennifer as a defense attorney. Jennifer's 18 years of experience truly showed in representing me and getting me the best possible outcome given my circumstances.

Great DUI Attorney

Jennifer knows what she is doing when it comes to DUI's and she kept me out of jail and I didn't receive the max on any of my charges. I highly recommend her if you get into DUI trouble.

Jennifer Watkins amazing DUI attorney

Ms. Watkins is amazing, I was arrested for a DUI, Driving Under Revocation, Leaving the Scene of an Accident/-Damage, Careless Driving, all dismissed. No jail, unsupervised probation, no community service, minimum fines, she convinced the DA he couldn't prove the cases and got the DUI and all those ...other charges dismissed. The DA did decide that he could prove Reckless Driving, so as part of my 6 months of probation I am not allowed to drive a vehicle. This could have ended up much worse. I can't say enough about Jennifer, she asked me at the beginning what I wanted as an outcome, I told her that I just wanted it all to go away. And she absolutely came through. If you're in trouble with the law you need her on your side.
